adverse conditions noted below.

General Recommendations
To ensure efficient operation and longer life of the air
compressor, prepare and follow a routine maintenance
schedule. The routine described in this section is intended for
an air compressor used under normal daily working conditions.
If necessary, modify the schedule to suit the conditions under
which you use your compressor. Modifications will depend
upon hours of operation and working environment. Operating
air compressors in extremely dirty or hostile environments will
require more frequent maintenance checks.
NOTE: See Features and Controls and Operation for control
locations.
Regular maintenance will improve the performance and
extend the life of the air compressor. See any authorized
Briggs & Stratton dealer for service.
The air compressors warranty does not cover items that have
been subjected to operator abuse or negligence. To receive
full value from the warranty, the operator must maintain air
compressor as instructed in this manual.
Some adjustments will need to be made periodically to
properly maintain your air compressor.
All service and adjustments should be made at least once
each season. Follow the requirements in the Maintenance
Schedule chart above.
NOTE: Once a year you should clean or replace the spark
plug and replace the air filter. A new spark plug and clean air
filter assure proper fuel-air mixture and help your engine run
better and last longer.
Emissions Control
Maintenance, replacement, or repair of the emissions
control devices and systems may be performed by any
non-road engine repair establishment or individual.
However, to obtain ”no charge” emissions control service,
the work must be performed by a factory authorized dealer.
